@srw @taco @Twitter Me too. Everyone said it tastes awful so I've never wanted to crack it open.

This is important: if you're using a Samsung, Pixel or Vivo phone and don't want to dive into whether your phone is affected or not, disable "Wi-Fi Calling" and "VoLTE" and wait for the patch.

At least on some Samsung phones, both are enabled by default.

Wow. XBB.1.5 more than doubled across the United States in 1 week, now ~40%, out-competing all variants

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

I've updated this post on the XBB.1.5 variant with new data provided by @yunlong_cao, @JPWeiland and @rquiroga777. For those questioning what could be done if CDC/media raised awareness (for which there has been none), that is addressed, too.

Seeing this rapid rise in SARS-Cov-2 in wastewater is very concerning. If it is in the wastewater, many people have Covid and it also in the air. We know what is going to happen. It is like watching a car wreck. Please follow the recommendations in this thread to avoid it.

Flu data out today. Holy crap.

@44 It's so good

We developed a new multivalent mRNA vaccine against all known influenza virus subtypes. Our study describing the vaccine was just published in @ScienceMagazine. 1/n

Why is the outlook favorable when new variants with marked immune evasion and growth advantage have become dominant?

if you have a twitter crush on someone you legally have to tell them tonight

If you’re wondering why Twitter is still up & running with the majority of hardcore engineers gone, it’s because many exceptional engineers over the years gave it all they had to ensure the platform scaled under any conditions.

Twitter was resilient 💙

[Brian Gingold @bgingold]

@srw I hope you and everyone involved is ok

[Dan Luu @danluu]

One of the things that I think is sad about the decimation of Twitter eng is that Twitter was doing a lot of interesting (and high ROI) engineering work that, at younger companies, is mostly outsourced to "the cloud" or open source projects

A few examples off the top of my head:

[Bill Higgins @BillHiggins]

🧵 I’ve been unpleasantly surprised that some people seem to condone the public criticism of employees and/or the public firing of an employee for responding to this criticism.

Here are my thoughts on these topics, which I hope would be obvious to any decent leader. (1/22)

See the dark circle created by the images of the eclipsed moon? That is the shadow of the Earth, projected out into space.

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary
